A Viral Video Sparks Outrage
A recent viral video has captured the attention of internet users, stirring both anger and disbelief.
The footage features an elderly gentleman who dedicated 50 years of his life to working at a 7-Eleven store. Instead of receiving a grand celebration or a meaningful gift, he was met with... just an email.
Titled 'This man who worked at 7-11 for 50 years got nothing aside from an e-mail as a reward', the clip shows him calmly displaying his phone. On the screen is a photo—likely of his supervisor—and a straightforward message that reads: 'Congratulations on your 50 year anniversary Bhaskar!'
Watch the viral video:
That's all he received. No plaque, no celebration, and certainly no gold watch—just a simple message that seems to lack any real effort.
It's uncertain whether this was the only acknowledgment he received from his employer, but viewers are expressing their discontent.
One commenter stated, 'He deserved a Rolex, at minimum.' Another shared a similar experience: 'I worked with an elderly woman who spent 60 years with the company. All they did was get a cheap supermarket cake and celebrate her retirement in the break room. That’s when I decided to leave that job too.'
This viral video has ignited a broader discussion about how companies recognize their long-serving employees. Where is the appreciation? The respect? The fundamental human decency?
In a sea of viral content, this particular video not only evokes sadness but also prompts reflection.
